Free Gender Diversity Resources for Educators

As the new school year begins, communities across the country are searching for ways to
help ensure that all students, including transgender students, can
attend school in an environment free from discrimination.

To help educators seeking to deepen
their own understanding and get students thinking and talking about
how to create a welcoming and inclusive school climate, a powerful
resource modeled on Hawaiian culture's tradition of gender diversity
is being made available for free to all interested in putting them to
use in the classroom.

A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE is the true story
of a young girl who dreams of leading the boys-only hula group at her
Honolulu school, and a transgender teacher who empowers her and other
students through sharing the importance of treating all people with
dignity, honor, and respect.

The film, teaching guide, and resources are all available for free,
and a team of professionals is also available to help with workshops
for teachers, administrators, and students interested in additional
training.
